And as usual, people are carte blanche supporting something without first having gained the knowledge behind it. Occupy Wall Street is doing the right thing but for the WRONG reasons. If people understood the Federal Reserve they would understand that capitalism is not the enemy here, the Fed is.
Bingo!
Half these kids don't even know what they're "protesting." I understand that people are angry and fed up, and I'm all for a peaceful demonstration, but what's the end game here? The only way to change the banks' behavior is through the movement of money. This isn't accomplishing a damned thing.
To compare this protest to those of the '60s is just silly. SC made a great point about the the causes back then (namely Civil Rights and the Vietnam War). At least those protesters had a resolution in mind.
And MC, I love ya, but you're a hopeless old hippie
. I do, however, wish you well in writing a song about this
